[[Strange Relationship]], [[Teacher, Teacher]] and [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] were the earliest recordings included on the album, originally recorded in Summer 1982. [[Dream Factory]] was recorded in December 1985, but [[Prince]] hadn’t yet decided on the album, as he was unsure of how he would proceed following [[Album: Parade|Parade]], which was not yet released. By January 1986, however, [[Prince]] proceeded with further work on an album, recording [[Last Heart]] and [[Wonderful Day]]. | [[Strange Relationship]], [[Teacher, Teacher]] and [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] were the earliest recordings included on the album, originally recorded in Summer 1982.

An initial configuration of the '''Dream Factory''' album was compiled in late April 1986, containing eleven tracks. Work continued in early May, however, with the recording of [[In A Large Room With No Light]] and [[It]], and a new double LP configuration containing 19 tracks was compiled, dated [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_3|3 June 1986]]. The album was mastered in early June, but [[Prince]] still didn’t consider it a final version, and continued work on the album. [[Slow Love]] was recorded the following day. By mid-June, [[Prince]] was considering working on a Broadway musical, referred to both as [[Musical: The Dawn|Dream Factory]] and [[Musical: The Dawn|The Dawn]], and it is possible that there was some overlap between the projects, but the musical was ultimately abandoned. | An initial configuration of the '''Dream Factory''' album was compiled in late April 1986, containing eleven tracks.

− | In early July 1986, [[Prince]] recorded [[Train]] for the album, and in mid-July, he recorded [[The Cross]] and [[Sign O’ The Times]], and revamped the 1982 track [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] to complete the album. The final double LP configuration containing 18 tracks was compiled on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]]. In one last session on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 20|20 July 1986]], the track order was changed up a bit for sides 2, 3 and 4, as well as some editing done, and crossfades made. It was the last time worked on the collection. | + | In early July 1986, [[Prince]] recorded [[Train]] for the album, and in mid-July, he recorded [[The Cross]] and [[Sign O’ The Times]], and revamped the 1982 track [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] to complete the album.

The disbanding of [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]] meant the end of the project. With most of the [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]]’s input eliminated, the collection was expanded by also incorporating other tracks, recorded later in 1986. This resulted in the three-disc set [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]], which eventually was pared down to become [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]. | The disbanding of [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]] meant the end of the project.
